You, too, can incorporate this often hilarious dialect when talking to friends, enemies, lovers, whatever. It's really not that difficult. So, in what situations could you drop a phrase like "Kojak with a Kodak" or similarly ridiculous things? Here's the guide to the real language of the open road, and how to use it on or off the road.

Water Bill

Need a restroom? In CB slang, you'd excuse yourself with a quick, "It's time to pay the water bill," which is a pretty amazing way to announce that nature's calling.

Gumball Machine

Driving Award

Why think of it as a speeding ticket when you can conceptualize it as a "driving award"? Congrats, you win!

Happy Happy and Merry Merry

Don't know if you should be saying "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays?" Truckers just say "Merry merry" anyway. Same goes for New Year's: "Happy happy!" Really gets to the point, doesn't it?

10-codes

CB slang words and phrases are one thing, but what if you want to communicate quickly and completely incognito? Enter the shorter, numerical 10-codes, of which there are just over a hundred. When truckers want to get right to the point, they might say "10-12" to alert other truckers within a five-mile radius: "Visitors present." A CB slang query like "What's your 20?" is asking for your location — but if you want to get technical it's really "What's your 10-20?"
